ICE out of California March and Rally

Hosted by ICE Out of Fresno
As Trump’s family detention crisis blankets the airwaves, we invite all concerned community members to take action and uplift local efforts to end family separation and eliminate ICE Out of California!
We must not forget that local law enforcement through racial profiling and ongoing criminalization of immigrants and people of color play a vital role in the mass incarceration and deportation pipeline.
We will meet in Downtown Fresno at Courthouse Park in front of the Fresno County Sheriff’s Department.

If Trump fires Mueller rapid response protests:

Rallies will begin hours after news breaks of a Mueller firing:

If Mueller is fired BEFORE 2 P.M. local time —> events will begin @ 5 P.M. local time

If Mueller is fired AFTER 2 P.M. local time —> events will begin @ noon local time the following day

This is the general plan—please confirm details on your event page, as individual hosts may tailor their events to their local plan.

This is our moment to stand up to protect our democracy. Let’s mobilize to show that we won’t let Donald Trump become the authoritarian that he aspires to be. The law applies to all of us, and it’s essential that it also applies to the most powerful people in our country.

Please note that the listed date is a placeholder and will be updated to be within 24 hours of the firing, should it occur. RSVP to let the event host know that they can count on you to attend the event. Once you sign up, make sure to invite friends to join you at the event! Note: If you choose to attend an event, you agree to engage in nonviolent, peaceful action, to act lawfully, and to strive to de-escalate any potential confrontations with those who may disagree with our values. Trump’s solution to problems with people working for him has always been “You’re fired!” He can’t keep doing this. Firing Mueller is a red line Trump cannot be allowed to cross — this abuse of power would trigger a constitutional crisis and nothing short of a national emergency. As citizens we need to stand up to this together, in solidarity. Join us in Fresno City Hall if this rs! Help us take back our government!

This is a noon-time peace, prayer and solidarity vigil in front of Congressman Devin Nunes Office in Clovis. If you attend, please respect the purpose of peaceful prayer, reflection and civil dis-obedience. Corner of 3rd St and Clovis Ave in downtown Clovis.

“Bev and I want to thank you for attending the Tuesday Vigil in the past and encourage you to join us again for the Fall Season of peaceful protest outside of Devin Nunes office in Clovis. We know this is going to be a “long haul” all the way to November 2018 and we want to keep the momentum we created during the last six months. I am guessing over 2-3 hundred cars pass by our intersection within the hour that we are there. You can just imagine, over the next 14 months, how many people we can reach. We also are noticing many, many more motorists honking their horns. We are making a difference!”– Dave
